D’Tigress Suffer Heavy Defeat to Indiana Fever in US Tour Finale

Nigeria’s D’Tigress suffered a heavy 105–57 defeat to the Indiana Fever in the final game of their United States tour.

The African champions struggled to match the intensity and quality of their opponents, who dominated from the opening quarter and maintained control throughout the contest. Despite moments of resilience, D’Tigress were unable to close the gap against the WNBA side.

The match marked the end of the team’s preparation tour ahead of upcoming international competitions, including the FIBA Women’s World Cup. Coaches are expected to assess the performance and address key areas such as defense, coordination, and offensive execution.

While the result highlights the gap in competition level, officials believe the experience gained from facing top-tier opposition will be valuable as the team continues its preparations on the global stage.
